Ingredients
Scale
Wonton Cups
- 1 package of wonton wrappers (about 30 pieces)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Filling
- 3 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the wonton cups.
- Cook Spinach: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
- Mix Cream Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and well blended.
- Add Filling Ingredients: Stir in chopped artichoke hearts, cooked spinach, grated Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, minced garlic, onion powder, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper until thoroughly combined.
- Prepare Wonton Cups: Lightly grease a muffin tin. Press each wonton wrapper carefully into the muffin cups to form cup shapes.
- Fill Cups: Spoon the spinach and artichoke mixture generously into each wonton cup, ensuring they are well filled.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until wonton cups are golden brown, crispy, and filling is bubbly and lightly golden on top.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let the cups cool for a few minutes before serving for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh spinach with frozen spinach, thawed and drained, if fresh is unavailable.
- Red pepper flakes are optional but add a pleasant subtle heat.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to blend easily with the other creamy ingredients.
- Wonton cups can be prepared a few hours in advance and baked just before serving.
